This is subtitled as an acoustic limited edition ep. As far as I can tell, only “Here’s to You” and “Take Take Take” have appeared on any other album by The Electrics (1993’s Big Silent World). They sound like pretty much the same versions as they are on here. “Bogeyman” might have been on an older cassette of theirs from 80s, but was apparently re-recorded for a charity compilation in 1994 (The Original CD (I Am God’s Original Creation)). “Gotta Have Love” is a cover of the well-known gospel song. That and “Carry Me” appear to be the main unique tracks to this tape. But I could be wrong. However, yes, the entire album is more acoustic and unplugged than their usual sound, even if the tracks on here aren’t different from their later released ones.
